Mr. Robot Reviews
- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Time Spent:
- 20 to 40 Hours
- The Bottom Line:
- "Been there, done that"
Simple little rpg about a lowly robot and a murderous ship computer. Actual combat takes place inside consoles, and computer systems where you are represented by a "ghost". Combat is turn based, with your standard fare of buffs, and attack programs(special moves) with ultimate moves generating over time the more damage you inflict.
The combat is solid, though the random encounters in nodes, hubs, etc in cyberspace make it difficult to fully clear the boards as the chances of encounters from the weaker nodes are incredibly small.
Back on the ship instead of in it's systems you can move using the arrow keys, or holding down the left mouse button. In the first scenario the angle of the view down on the robot makes it easy to get confused using the arrow keys reducing you to a crawl while the mouse option moves the robot so quickly that you slide around rather than walk.
Other than the controls themselves when moving around the ship the puzzles and combat are effective entertainment, though it's all been done before. Considering the game is free to play on Gametap right now, you can't really go wrong giving it a shot.

Mr. Robot is a great old-school RPG buried under an atrocious isometric puzzle platformer. Continue »
